I pitched David Hartwig recently on an early funding. We're a bit too early for him, but he was great to talk to, gave helpful feedback and has been incredibly helpful in connecting me to other interested parties. I was very surprised, but he introduced me to 4 other VC's...one of which might lead the deal. I will definitely come back to David when we're ready to raise the next round.

I pitched to Dave on a couple of different occasions. I believe he is an up-and-comer at SAP Ventures. Anyway, my experience was really positive - smart questions, total engagement, and (while he negged me two different times) he also offered -- and then made -- several introductions to folks who then did invest. I've never really had a VC do that before.

My experience with SAP Ventures over the past two years has been positive. Extremely frank and open discussions, good market insights and a healthy sounding board for strategic as well as tactical approaches.
